Today was Pittsburgh PrideFest. The difference between PrideFest when I moved to Pittsburgh seven years ago and today is striking. Many more people participate in the parade and show up to the activities afterwards, although the turnout along the parade route this year was rather poor (especially compared to last year). The visibility of the parade has also increased. When I first moved here, the parade went through one or two of the neighborhoods away from downtown. Now, the marchers go right through downtown Pittsburgh.
